This Art Exhibition in the Watson, Cayley & Ferris Galleries showcases artwork from across the Waterloo Region and celebrates the creativity shared throughout our community.

PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD WINNER! @ Guelph Art on the Street 2022

What an Amazing weekend in Guelph!!! I sold a number of Artworks to some wonderful Art Appreciators/Buyers. To top this very special weekend off I ended up being named the People’s Choice Winner at this year’s event…What an absolute thrill and emotion-filled moment that was!

From my home to yours…

Katherine, I will be forever grateful for all of the support and appreciation you continue to show towards me and my art. I thoroughly enjoyed the time we had on your cosy little porch and the beautiful memory that was created there on that rainy Sunday afternoon.

I sincerely hope that this piece, “The Guardian’s Angel” brings you as much joy and happiness as it has and continues to do for me. This painting will always hold a big place in my heart from that little original concept sketch right through to the finished art that you now hold…

Introducing my Brand NEW Wood Surface... →

Peter’s thrilling discovery at the Woodstock Woodworking Show a little over a year ago has led him on a journey to seek out some truly amazing pieces of Ash Wood. When he had first laid eyes on this fascinating textured edging around the slabs of Ash out on display that day it captured his imagination immediately!! He was intrigued and quite curious about how this unique texture came to be. To his surprise it turned out to be the diligent and extremely harmful work of the Emerald Ash Borer, a small wood-boring beetle. These small intrusive insects feed just under the tree bark on the phloem tissue. As these patterned feeding trails coalesce, it completely cuts off the tree’s ability to transport nutrients to other parts of the tree and it sadly dies. Peter is just so honoured to have the chance to reclaim, condition and enhance some of these wonderful pieces…breathing a little life and showing a little beauty out of such destruction!!
